That was one big thing my Dad taught me. NEVER to be embarrassed to show someone you love that you love them.
You know how some men can be, not wanting to show emotion. My Dad always hugged me and told me he loved me. And i could be a real bonehead at times as a kid. I SHOULD have got more spankings then i did. I'm a "hugger". I'll hug my guy friends as well as female ones. As my Dad told me, "You NEVER know when it might be the last time you see someone. You want those you love to never doubt how you feel about them."
The last time i saw my Dad alive, i hugged him and told him i loved him. The next morning he was dead and i again hugged him and told him i loved him.
I wish he was still here to give me guidence. (sp?)
He would only be 82 if he was still here.
I still miss him, and will till i die.
